met with great applause, and the afternoon was brought to a close with ice cream and cake. In the evening Ernie Berger from Jasper gave a program in the Assembly. Several accordion solos, tap dancing, singing, two piano solos completed the program. Senior Activities On May 16 on Tuesday, Sisters Clarissa and Mary James took the Seniors who had spent four years at the A. I. C. on a special outing. Putting up with the A. I. C. for four years should merit a reward, says Si ter Clarissa. So they got it. The party went to Spring Mill State Park near Mitchell, Indiana. Fun! They had it, and eats, too. Sure we'll tell you who the lucky ones were: Wilma Davis, Marian Forster, Josephine Bickwermert, Kathleen Born, Marcia Feder, Mary Catherine Finis, Martha Hentz, Mary Agnes Mitchell, Mary Louise Pirnat, Lillian Stippler, and Frances Bacon. Senior Banquet The feast of the Ascension, May 18, was the best day for the Senior banquet. At 6:00 the Seniors lined up and drew names of the Faculty whom they were to escort to the banquet. That's exciting, you know. The Wissel girls and Betty Braun played the entrance march on violin, cello, and piano. The meal was served in courses. The menu: chili soup, fried chicken, creamed potatoes, mixed vege- tables, pineapple-peach salad, carmel nut ice cream, angel food cake, and coffee. The decorations were beautiful-mostly in pink. The musical trio entertained throughout the meal. Senior Dance Friday, May 26, the Seniors had their last social affair together. For a week Sister Mary Albert and the girls worked to get the Recreation Room in spic and span order and that's just the way the room looked. This time there was no crepe paper, but instead beautiful ferns, large vases of peonies and other natural flowers made the old rec look like a work of art in nature. A. I. C. ACTIVITIES A. I. C. ACTIVITIES Ernie Berger and his orchestra played for the dance. No one was permitted on the floor except the Seniors. Five cents admission was charged underclassmen to view the dance and to hear the orchestra. Senior Outing Pentecost Monday is always a free day as you well know, so the Seniors and Faculty used the day for the outing. Spring Mill Park was a spot too tempting to over- look, so plans were made for just that spot and no other. A whole day of running along trails, daring caves and visiting the quaint village. There's no need to recount the food. Fun and more fun. Ordination Day Tuesday morning, the day after the outing! But there was no time to humor stiff limbs and sore muscles. Cars waited to take the Seniors to St. Meinrad to the Ordination. The Seniors remained there until evening at which time they had to hurry home for the class night program. Class Night At eight o'clock the organ pealed forth into a beauti- ful march played by Peggy Wissel and very slowly the Seniors marched into the Assembly attired in their white caps and gowns. Upon reaching their places on the stage they sang the beautiful song, The Angelus, the song they had chosen for their class song. The class prophecy was then read by Bet- ty Braun. Wilma Davis recited the class poem, Gar- den of Love, which was written by Rita Craig. Martha Hentz read the Class Will and the curtain closed upon the first part of the Class Night program. The trio played several beautiful numbers while the Seniors prepared for their play. Finally the curtain rose and the Seniors presented a hilarious comedy entitled The Land of Tomorrow. Characters rang- ing from a Turkish wife to the President of the United States were depicted by the various members of the class. The program closed by singing a song written especially for the occasion. And so we came to the end of a perfect day.
